when you turn the corner on the bad guy - you shoot him in the head.
The bomb would have still gone off - in JAPAN - in a bunker - yeah, it would have dotted the I, but…
I’m not buying the time aspect. They had plenty of time for dramatic goodbyes. The question of whether or not it would contain the blast vs protecting them from the blast is valid. I would think it would be much more difficult to contain a blast of that magnitude versus protecting a 6 to 10 foot spherical area from it. The whole power of the blast would be fully contained in one scenario, whereas in the other, the blast is free to expand as it wants, save that one spherical area.
All artifacts seem to come in two flavors: powerful enough to be useful but with heavy downsides or benign to the point of being useless except in specific situations. Hence Artie’s back of tricks.
That was another point I was ignoring, but had problems with. They had the drop on the bad guy, and stood there while Wells turned and pointed her gun at them, then they dropped their guns. If they were hesitant to kill him, why didn’t they have at least one Tesla out and ready? They sure pull guns a lot for ppl who don’t seem to like to kill. When’s the last time they SHOT someone, vs stunning them? If they’re not going to fire a gun, they should stick to the Tesla.
Minor nit-pick: I believe they were in Hong Kong.
Tweet from Eddie McClintock: Q: What happened 2 Artie’s dog? A: He was engulfed in flame and suffered only the MINIMUM amount of horror allowed by the FCC.
Another question occurred to me: When and how did they get hold of the metronome? Did I miss something?
The message that Jinks left behind mentioned that the undead henchman got unnerved when Sykes brought out a certain box. But that’s all we were shown. I guess it’s one of those off-screen things.
That’s one thing that really bugs me about the show. If you’ve got a stunning weapon, you really *can *shoot first and ask questions later… but they never do.
You know - I think this bothers me more than anything else that happened in that show - this must never be mentioned again.
He’s with the fish I tell you.
Yay! A tweet from Trailer the dog! “I assure you, I’m alive. I’d take a picture holding the newspaper, but I don’t have hands and I lost my camera when SOMEONE BLEW UP MY HOUSE.”
Exactly. You are on one side of the existing force field or the other. She put them on the other side. If she’d put the bomb on the other side it would have blown up as if it were outside and done who knows how much damage or how many people killed.
But that would imply that, by encapsulating the gang in the “mini bubble”, she was placing them “outside” the Warehouse. But they clearly weren’t outside- they couldn’t, for example, walk out of that bubble and suddenly appear outside in time to get comically hit by the football. They were instead put into a second layer of the same forcefield (presumably, since both layers were composed of the same forcefield, if the explosion had penetrated one layer it would’ve shut off the entire thing).
They should have given Myka and H.G. a moment to make out before the explosion. They were looking at each other with a look that screamed “I wanna kiss you!”. Damn forcefield.
Of course, “outside” the Warehouse is still the middle-of-nowhere South Dakota, and a nuclear-sized but non-radioactive explosion would have just blown up a big bunch of desert. Have they ever strictly stated how far they are from that small town?
I would think the primary concern–beyond the physically destructive power of the explosion–would be the “fallout” of the exploded artifacts. We don’t really know what makes the artifacts special, but if there’s some kind of “magic” stored in them, then the explosion might release that and spread it all over the place if it were uncontained. Like when they forced them to shut down the containment field in Ghostbusters and all hell broke loose.
I think that was what was in the box that henchguy set down in front of Leena after he took her prisoner. So, in essence he brought it with him.
I think most people are forgetting that the force field was intended to protect the warehouse from an external explosion/attack (set in motion by the cannon) - but that sykes used it to insure destruction of the warehouse by bringing the bomb inside after the shield was triggered.
I do not think he wsa concerned with artifact fallout or any potential damage to the outside world - he simply wanted to insure that the WH itself and whomever was inside at the time was destroyed.
There is more sexual tension between those two, than in almost any other show I can think of.
I need to pay more attention to this show.
Finally watched the finale.
Damn, that was a bad, bad show for Claudia. Steve *and *Todd both? Glad to see I was wrong about Mrs. Frederick, at least. Was that medal she was threatening Marcus with the same one she used on Stukowski?
Kinda wondering how that metronome attaches itself to someone to keep them going. And just what that watch does. Interesting that Artie made sure he had it to hand before things got so hairy. What made him think he’d need it? And whose was it?
Wait … Tyler’s not Todd, is he?
